Over 350 energy, business and industrial leaders from the North America’s largest organizations will come together in Houston, November 09-10 at Reuters Events: Energy Transition North America 2022, where they will discuss the urgent need to decarbonize North American energy production and deliver strategies to turn global net zero ambition into meaningful net zero action.

Upon the backdrop of the COP27 climate conference, key industry changemakers will strategize pathways to providing a secure, clean and affordable power supply across the U.S. and Canada.

Across two days, Reuters Events will unpack the leadership and finance questions, deep dive into the importance of carbon management and business model innovation, and identify the key technologies and innovations available to deliver a decarbonized, electrified energy grid.

Full event information is available here.

With a legacy of convening leading energy and industrial executives, Reuters Events: Energy Transition North America provides a central meeting place for boardroom leaders committed to net zero to convene, build strategies and establish partnerships. The 2022 speaker faculty so far boasts:

“Securing a just and effective energy transition in North America will be crucial to reduce global emissions and ensure security is the defining challenge of our time,” said Owen Rolt, Head of Energy Transition at Reuters Events. “It is fitting that this year we will again be featuring one of the strongest lineups of any energy event in the world.”

To facilitate this seismic shift for the energy industry, Reuters Events has built the forum around five critical themes: Delivering Net Zero North America, Security and Supply, Carbon Management Strategies, Climate Technology, and Electrification and the Grid

US CPI and ECB meeting key events this week

US CPI and ECB meeting key events this week

Having managed to reverse a sequence of seven successive weekly losses only a week before, US markets ended a holiday-shortened week very much on the back foot. The weakness on Friday came in the aftermath of another solid jobs report, with the rebound off the recent lows starting to show signs of faltering, both in the US and Europe as well, although markets in Europe do appear to be showing slightly more resilience.  

At the beginning of last week, US yields had just come off the back of three successive weekly declines, on optimism that inflationary pressures in the US economy may well have peaked. This in turn prompted speculation that we start to see signs of a possible pause by the Federal Reserve after the expected 50bps hikes that are expected to be delivered in June and July.

Comments from Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostic that he might be minded to consider a pause got this hare running even faster, however this didn’t last very long, with yields finishing the week strongly higher. This rebound in yields was down to a variety of factors, firstly a stronger than expected ISM manufacturing report, which came alongside hawkish comments from Fed governor Christopher Waller, who indicated he wanted to go down the route of several 50bps rate hikes to be certain that inflation is brought under control.

Friday’s non-farm payrolls report for May was also a factor, with the US economy adding 390,000 jobs, more than was expected, while the April number was revised up to 436,000. The unemployment rate remained steady at 3.6%, prompting a modest rebound in the US dollar. That said, wages data was still relatively weak, slipping back to 5.2% from 5.5% in April. With so many vacancies still outstanding, the mediocrity in wages growth remains one of the bigger puzzles in the inflation narrative.

As we look ahead to this week’s US CPI numbers for May, the main worry for investors is that in their increasing urgency to contain upside risk in inflation, central banks tighten monetary policy too quickly and tip the global economy into recession. Putting to one side the fact that surging inflation is probably already doing that in terms of a cost-of-living squeeze on consumption patterns, markets appear to be navigating a tightrope of concern over which is the better option.

It is becoming increasingly obvious from the tone of a number of Fed policymakers that a pause in the US rate-hiking cycle appears unlikely at the moment. Last week we heard from Fed vice chair Lael Brainard, who is generally considered one of the more dovish voices on the FOMC, arguing that the case for a September pause was a hard one to make. This suggests little in the way of a consensus for a delay at this point.

The European Central Bank is also due to meet this week, and while no change in policy is expected given that its asset purchase program is still running, the calculus here has already shifted towards a rate hike in July, and possibly September as well. This policy pivot has become all the more urgent given that inflation across the EU has been accelerating at the same as CPI in the US appears to be slowing down, and possibly plateauing. The biggest challenge for the ECB this week will be trying to justify why they are waiting until July to act, given the urgency of the situation. If anything, they are making the same mistake as the Federal Reserve did earlier this year, in persisting with a too easy monetary policy, and then having to tighten even more aggressively. The move in US treasury yields over the past few weeks shows that bond markets are having similar thoughts about the direction of travel for US inflation.

As we look ahead to what is set to be big week for both US and European markets, the outlook for the Chinese economy is expected to show a slightly more positive picture, when May trade numbers are released on Thursday, however given how poor the March and April numbers were due to lockdowns and covid restrictions, that’s a pretty low bar. Despite these concerns, Asia markets have edged their way higher as Chinese authorities continued to ease covid restrictions across the country. The latest Caixin services survey showed a modest improvement on April’s 36.2 reading coming in at a weaker than expected 41.4. This rise in Asia markets looks set to translate into a positive European open in a few hours’ time.   

EUR/USD – currently struggling below the 1.0790 area, trend line resistance from the highs this year. There is support just above the 1.0640 area, which while it holds keeps the potential for a move towards 1.0850. A move below 1.0640, opens up the 1.0530 area.  

GBP/USD – currently finding support just above 1.2450 and the lows last week. A break below 1.2450 argues for a move towards 1.2320. While above support from last week lows, we can see a move back above 1.2550 towards 1.2630.  

EUR/GBP – edging back towards resistance at the range highs near 0.8600. We have trend line support from the April lows currently at 0.8480. A move below 0.8470 retargets the 0.8420 area.  

USD/JPY – next resistance remains at recent highs at 131.35. A break above 131.50 opens up the 2002 peaks at 135.00. Only a move below the 50-day MA, undermines upward momentum and argues for a move lower towards the 123.00 area.

Keep Olympic News Free

Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody. 

insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.

Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since. 

As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport. 

Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit. 

The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.

Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10 – it only takes a minute. If you can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you.

Chamber happenings: Annual business meeting, exciting events on tap

On April 19, our Waterbury Regional Chamber will host its 132nd annual business meeting from noon-2 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott Waterbury Downtown. During the meeting, we will highlight our accomplishments of the past year, elect and re-elect board members, and hear from keynote speaker David Lehman, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development and a senior economic advisor to Gov. Ned Lamont. We also will acknowledge 37 companies who are celebrating their 40th-, 30th-, 20th- or 10th-year milestone as a chamber member.

Presiding over the meeting is Mary Rosengrant-Chiappalone of Biondi & Rosengrant, the board of directors chairwoman.

“The last year proved to be one of the most unpredictable times for the chamber in its 132-year history, as our community continued to be challenged by the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Rosengrant-Chiappalone said.

“Our business community, membership and chamber found bold and innovative ways to continue providing the resources, news, networking opportunities and other information that residents and businesses needed to adapt and succeed.”

Our premier sponsor for this event is Thomaston Savings Bank; our corporate sponsor is Barker Specialty. All business leaders are welcome to attend by registering on waterburychamber.com.

The Waterbury Regional Chamber and our affiliate chambers have many exciting events coming up over the next few months.

Do you know someone looking for a job? With funding from a CARES grant, the chamber has partnered with the Northwestern American Job Center to bring together more than 50 area employers for a spring job fair on April 28 from 3-6 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott Waterbury Downtown. Employers are welcome to register and job seekers are encouraged to attend.

Our next Out for Business networking event will take place on May 4 from 5-7 p.m. at The Residences at Quarry Walk in Oxford. Out for Business events give members and potential members the opportunity to visit the site of a member business, network, enjoy food and drink, socialize and have the chance to win a door prize.

On May 13, I will host our next Wake Up Your Business virtual networking event. This online opportunity, from 8-9 a.m. on Zoom, gives members and individuals interested in learning more about the the chamber the chance to make new connections, grow their business, and create more visibility. Registration is free.

Are you looking for a family-friendly event? The Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce will host the 17th Annual Duck Race and Festival on June 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Naugatuck. The day will feature live music, a petting zoo, activities and entertainment for children, food vendors, business vendors, crafters and, of course, the anticipated Duck Race, which involves thousands of rubber ducks racing down the Naugatuck river for a prize of $5,000 cash.

As part of Duck Day, you can support many area nonprofit organizations by purchasing a raffle ticket, which puts you in the running for one of 20 prizes, including $5,000 cash.

We have many other exciting opportunities in the weeks and months ahead. Be sure to follow us on social media and to check out waterburychamber.com, where you can register for any of these events. For help, reach out to the chamber at 203-757-0701.

Rekindling new arena talk? First meeting of Calgary’s event centre committee

Rekindling new arena talk? First meeting of Calgary's event centre committee


Calgary’s event centre committee will meet for the first time as part of the effort to restart discussions around a new home for the Calgary Flames.


The committee, which includes citizens and members of council, will hold its inaugural meeting Monday morning.


The meeting is set to begin at 9:30 am and go until 1:00 pm.


The five-person committee includes:


  • Ward 1 Coun. Sonya Sharp

  • Ward 8 Coun. Courtney Walcott

  • Ward 13 Coun. Dan McLean

  • Brad Parry, president of Calgary Economic Development

  • Deborah Yedlin, president of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.


The committee came to fruition after the agreement to build an event centre officially fell apart at the start of this year when the city and Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation couldn’t agree on additional funding.  


The meeting will be streamed live on the City of Calgary’s website.
